Traditional Raspberry Mousse
Mousse can be made in two main ways - “Easy” and “Traditional”. This is my recipe for Traditional Raspberry Mousse. A bit of work, but so elegant!
Servings: 6 People
Calories: 202kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raspberry puree *
- ⅓ cup Sugar
- 3 teaspoon Unflavored gelatin powder
- ⅓ cup water **
- 2 Large egg whites
- 1 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
- Combine raspberry puree and sugar together in a large bowl, set aside.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over water and allow to soak for 5 minutes. Transfer bowl to microwave, heat in 10 second increments until gelatin dissolves into the liqueur.
- Pour gelatin into fruit puree mixture, stir until well incorporated, then set aside while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
- In a separate bowl (stand mixer, ideally!), whip egg whites until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold into chilled fruit mixture, stirring until combined.
- Whip cream until stiff peaks form, then carefully fold in to the fruit mixture, stirring until combined.
- Pour into 6 serving glasses, chill until set, about 2 hours.
Notes
* If you have access to pre made fruit puree, that is easiest.
** Feel free to substitute a non-cream liqueur of choice for all or part of the water. This mousse is particularly great with Cambord or Cointreau in place of the water.
